When there are many preprocessor statements and many #ifdef cascades, it’s hard to get an overview since normally they are not indented. e.g.
#ifdef __WIN32__
#include <pansen_win32>
#else
#include <..>
#ifdef SOMEOTHER
stmts
#endif
maybe stmts
#endif
When I consider also indenting those preprocessor statements, I fear of getting confused with the general indentation level. So how do you solve this in a beautiful way?
Just because preprocessing directives are “normally” not indented is not a good reason not to indent them:
If you frequently have multiple levels of nesting of preprocessing directives, you should rework them to make them simpler.
